Hehe I'm sure I'll be the first (and probably the only for a while!) to post on this topic but thought I would start it anyway 
Due to months of dissapointment I waited until I was 2 days overdue to test and FINALLY got my BFP!!!!!! I am so excited/happy/overjoyed I could burst! My due date according to the bucketloads of sites I have already visited is the 1st of June 07. Yay  ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Hi there
I was glad to see a June thread on here! I tested on Friday after work (twice) and got BFPs both times. Still in a bit of shock but happy. DH is over the moon as we thought we were going to find it difficult to conceive given my problems earlier in the year(had surgery to remove three ovarian cysts and had to have right ovary removed). If all goes well, we are due on 6 June 2007 (those pregnancy calculators are cool!) Not sure what I need to do now - I suppose I need to make an appointment with my GP? Any advice gratefully received! Feeling pretty good - no sickness (yet) it's more like how I feel when AF is here. How are you feeling Jennz?

Hey 1apple- congratulations!!!! Thats great that you found it easier to concieve than you thought you were going to- TTC for months on end is awful.
I would make an appointment with my GP asap- it means you get a whole lot of info to read through about the dos and don'ts and also lets you know your options as far as maternity care. I have had a few waves of nausea- especially this morning! Have you had any other symptoms? ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Hi Jennz
Thanks! Had a bit of a freak out last night as it is slowly starting to sink in. Although this is something we wanted - it is my first so I have NO IDEA what to expect and how it's all going to feel! No major symptoms yet - I'm having some tingling in my boobs and just about upchucked when I took my prenate vitamins this morning. Oh, and I am TIRED! I've decided to change my GP as I never really liked the one I've got now. Am going to check that out today and make an appointment. Hope all is well with you! Cheers

This is my second time around- its a wonderful experience, just try to enjoy it! I loved being pregnant last time but yeah the symptoms kick in pretty quickly and it does take over your life at a pretty fast rate.
Try to keep somthing in your tummy at all times- even if you just snack on some crackers every half hour or so through the day to help curb the nausea. Try to rest as much as you can- the fatigue eases up around 12 weeks but it does get worse before it get better. Bras without underwire are good for easing up the pain in your boobs- wear them when you sleep too if they hurt in bed. And definitely try to be with a GP/Midwife you feel comfortable with You want to be able to ask them heaps of questions and feel fine about it especially now and the last thing you want with a newborn is having to change Drs!
Congratulations on the BFP Pepe4MrsTatts!!! Welcome our little club I am also due on the 1st. Wishing you a happy uneventful pregnancy!------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Hi Jennz
How's it going? We are OK - get symptoms coming and going. Yesterday I felt great all day until after dinner and then felt quite nauseous and gassy which is how I feel at the moment. Boobs not sore as such but they are sensitive. Depsite all of this it is still quite hard to imagine that there is a baby in there! Thanks for the advice - it is good to talk to someone who knows the drill! I've been given a whole heap of brochures to read - DH and I both read them and neither of us are none the wiser! Maybe a visit to the Dr will shed more light on what we are supposed to do in terms of getting midwife (even where to find one!) and all that. Hope all is well with you! Congrats to you Pepe4MrsTatts on your BFP! Looking forward to communicating with some more June mummies soon - this thread is a quiet one at the moment eh!

Hey
I am good- have been really tired the past couple of days, having to have afternoon naps like a nanna and everything! I am really bloated too so my belly looks huge- I think I look about 5 months already so the baby imagining is a little easir for me How have you been?
Please feel free to tell me to shut it if I get to "know-all" for you- I can have a tendency to do that and I know how annoying I find it when other people do it to me! 
Theres a really good book- the New Zealand pregnancy book which has some really good info on what to expect when you're pregnant. They have it at the library too- it was my bible last time! You think of so many little things and get so many symptoms that its nice to have something handy that explains it all. I am 6 weeks tomorrow! Half way to the safe date- will be so relieved once I reach that 12 week mark And only 1 week to go until my scan which will hopefully be another affirming experience!------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Hi there
I am grateful for any information and advice so don't worry! Hope you are well. I have had a pretty good weekend but am finding the tiredness quire overwhelming at times! It makes me feel a bit sick actually, but I find that if I go and lie down and relax then I come right. Have had majorly sore boobs too! Still no sign of any sickness though - touch wood! Hey, I had a chance to look through some of the other threads on here and saw that you are having a bit of a time of it with your pregenancy. How are you now? It is all very daunting to know that we are in this really delicate stage of the pregnancy eh. We've not told too many people as I want to wait until the scan at 11 - 12 weeks as DH and I are quite old (I'm 36 and DH is 46) for first time parents. Also the fact that the risk of m/c is reduced once you make it past 12 weeks. Still freaking out at times - the mood swings are incredible. On Friday, the dog was yelping at the cat and the yelping was really getting to me, DH came home and I just burst into tears and couldn't explain why -just that that dog was yelping (DH must have thought WTF??) Anyway - sorry for the long post. I hope you are well and happy :) Looking forward to hearing from some more Due in Junes! Cheers

Hey
Well to be honest not too good! I have just got out of a&e because I thought I was miscarrying. I started bleeding alot of bright red blood and it was getting pretty heavy so I called the on call Dr. He told me to come in then sent me through to the gyno after his assesment. By the time I went to do a urine sample though the bleeding had completely stopped! Its so weird- there was so much I thought it was it, that it was all over then it just stopped- nothing. They did an internal and everything is still as it should be so I have had bloods done and should get those midweek but its basically just wait and see. I am either going to continue bleeding and eventually miscarry properly or it will stop and I can have my scan Thursday and see whats going on. Its terrible 
I can certainly relate to being emotional- I watched x factor (UKs version of Idol) last night and sobbed the whole way through. I sobbed when they got through and I sobbed when they didn't- full on whimpering, blubbing runny nose crying. It was ridiculous! Ahhh the joys of hormones- you can only imagine what a mess I was this afternoon! The poor nurse on the phone couldn't understand a word I said- I had to pass the phone to DH. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Oh, that's no good! I hope there is some good news for you on Thursday - at least everything is as it should be at the moment but it must be pretty horrendous for you at the moment with not knowing. Take care of yourself won't you. Keep in touch.

Hi!
How are you feeling at the moment kebakat? Any symptoms yet? I am surprised that I've not had any major symptoms (I say that now - who knows what'll happen in the next couple of weeks) apart from the tiredness and sore boobs. I am trying to work out the maternity leave thing at the moment too - I get 9 weeks paid leave from my work on the understanding that I return to work (12 months maximum leave). Not too sure if I want to come back to this job tho - have to sit down and work it all out. I know about the government parental leave thing. Have been meaning to call them to get a few things clarified but not looking forward to being on hold forever! There's other stuff I need to arrange too - like find a midwife and go and see my GP. Apparently midwives get booked up really early - but I was wondering what would happen if you couldn't get one?!? Bit anxious about getting a Nazi Midwife (I've heard a few horror stories!) Anyway - hope everything is cool with you
Hey Jennz - how's it going?? |

Hi!
Another one to join the June club! Only just found out - although we were trying - hitting it first month was a bit of a surprise! 
Jennz - I hope things are ok for you. Put your feet up (well as much as you can with a 2yo!) 1apple - midwifes can get booked up by 7th week! That is if you want a good one. Have you got any local friends with bubs? Maybe they can point you too a good one. I have just left a message with one, so hopefully I can get in. No real symptoms yet - felt a bit queasy after I tested - but I think that was more my mind rather than anything else! |

Wow! Congratulations kebakat and AN E Nice to see the board filling up! You are so lucky you haven't got any symptoms yet- I am feeling so queasy its just not funny, that horrible 'on the verge of throwing up' feeling for the whole day yesterday. Not to mention my melon bbs...
Update on me- had stopped bleeding for the whole day yesterday which was a positive but it has started again this morning. I hope its a just a little one but we'll have to wait and see. I do my 2nd blood test today so hopefully that will give us some answers. I hope to get the results tomorrow but since I have to have it done so late at night it might not be til Thursday. Hope you ladies stay feeling well- enjoy your pre-symptom time! Its lovely, you get to enjoy feeling pregnant without the downsides
Apple1- I would book a midwife asap, I booked mine when I was 7 weeks and missed out on the 3 good ones at the clinic and got stuck with the not-so-good one. She was fine but it would have been nice to have the choice. If you don't get one they will often just allocate you to a hospital midwife. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Hi all, I'm tentatively entering the June 07 DD thread..lol My name is Tarsha and it looks as though I am expecting #2 on 24 June 2007. Its been a huge journey to get here, and I really hope to stay. I've been TTC for nearly 2 years now, have had 2 miscarriages, 5 unsuccessful clomid cycles, and an hsg. I have a beautiful little girl Bethany who jsut turned 3 on Monday. Both my miscarriages occurred at 4wks 3 days, and I am as of today, 3wks 4 days pregnant. So I am just hoping to get past that marker so that I can relax a little and start to beleive that I really am pregnant. Anyways, nice to meet you all, and I hope to be here for 9 months and beyond. |

Hi Tarsha - Congratulations! All the very best for a happy and healthy pregnancy. Fingers and toes crossed for you that everything goes well.
I am six weeks today and still feeling OK which is a relief but I am taking each day as it comes. I get very tired in the evenings now though - last night I went to bed at 8.30pm which is unheard of! How is everyone else feeling? Jennz - everything cool with you?? I am still having problems finding a midwife and it all seems such a hassle. I think I am going to do the option of going and seeing my GP for prenatal care and then just have a hospital midwife for when the time comes. Anyway - hope everyone is well and happy Looking forward to hearing from you all soon.

I've already sorted my midwife hehehe. I have an appt with her on monday, hopefully she will be able to tell me when I can find out if I got one or two in me (fraternal twins are on both DH's and my sides)
We have told our parents but no one else yet |

Thanks 1Apple, and welcome Rachel! In regard to midwives, I will hopefully use the same one as I used for Bethany. I am gonna wait until I have my beta results from Friday and Monday, then ring ASAP. Its kinda scary to make that phone call knowing my history, but I really don't want to miss out, shes an awesome midwife! And I have had symptoms since Sunday night - thats why I tested so early. I have the heaviest boobs ever, and they werent exactly petite to start with! lol. and I am tired, peeing a lot and breakfast is a bad time for me. Theres something aobut the smell of weetbix and opening the dishwasher (full of clean dishes) that makes me dry retch! lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Rachel and Tarsha- congratulations on your BFPs!!!!
Things are picking up here- just had a scan and there was a little heartbeat. Still not quite sure what is causing the bleeding but I am certainly feeling more positive about it all now Morning sickness is just awful at the moment- I feel constantly queasy, even when I wake up during the night. It is quite reassuring though- in a horrible horrible way
Sound like everyone is very organised! I've got my midwife too but its just an NHS allocated one so I think you just get whoever is there on the day. Would be nice to be back in NZ and have the same person the whole way through but it can't be helped- you guys are so lucky! Hope everyone is feeling well ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

I am so so so happy that there is a little bubs in there. Big hugs. Lots of people unexplained experience bleeding right through their pregnancies and go on to have healthy wee bubbas.

When our puppy gets his last vaccine in a couple of weeks DH and I are gonna be out walking every night, I'm hoping that will stop me piling on a little extra weight - I know that I will gain some weight but I don't wanna be like a friend of mine and gain too much, I just wanna be healthy.
I'm in denile about my boobs, I really don't want them to get bigger. As they are they are so big and give me back aches. I'll just hope that don't go toooooo huge lol |

Walking the dog is an excellent way to exercise. This is what I do every day after work. Sometimes I don't feel like it, but because you have to do it, you go and I always feel really good afterwards. Your dog will love you for it too.
I am paranoid about the weight thing as lst year I lost 25kgs on Weightwatchers and I REALLY don't want to put it back on. I know I can expect to put some weight on, but I still worry about it. Hey Jennz - that is GREAT NEWS!!!! I am glad everything has worked out for you. To all you other June ladies - hope you are all well and hope you have a great weekend

Well, I had my first beta today at 12DPO. Heres my results: hcg 38 I know the prog is good, and the hcg is within range, although I'd like it to be higher. The nurse told me the estrogen is fine, but I can't find anything to compare it to which is highly frusrtating. But there you are - at least for now, I am indeed pregnant. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi everyone!
I am very excited to be here :) At the moment I have estimated an EDD of around June 20 - because I have a late O and long cycle, I will wait till they do whatever they do to confirm! We got pregnant our first attempt too - probably still in shock, as we found out yesterday. That said, I knew something was up - I had felt slightly nauseous since about 5 dpo, had been more emotional than usual, had funny bursts of hunger where I had to eat immediatly and also had tender breats especially around the nipples! Tarshaa, I had hcg levels of 52 at 14dpo. Wishing us all sticky babies and healthy happy pregnancies :) |

No, the doctor didn't seem to think I should bother. He said as long as I didn't start spotting or anything, i should jsut sort out a midwife. I didn't even go in to see him - I picked the blood test form up from the desk and got the results over the phone! So I am hoping that things are going alright. It's kind of worrying when you don't really know.
I guess I will get onto getting a midwife in the next few days and see what they say! |

Thanks guys
I am 7 weeks today- can't believe its still only been just over 2 weeks since we found out, so much has happened! Only 5 weeks now til the big time... Hope you are all feeling ok. MS has hit me really hard the last few days- finding it really hard to eat, even talking about Icecream makes me so ill When ever I have my pregnancy multi I feel like being sick for about 3 hours after so have started having to take it as I go to bed. Bbs have calmed down which is nice- can finally start sleeping without a bra! Managed to go without a nap this afternoon so am hoping to get a good nights sleep
Hope you all have a good weekend- take care of yourselves and your beans!!! ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky but I don't really have morning sickness however I feel constantly hungry, it's really annoying lol.. more so since we really needa go grocery shopping so there isn't much to make a meal with here. As soon as DH is up and had breakfast we are off to the supermarket. lol
I semi wish it was monday so i could meet the midwife and find out what I am and aren't allowed to do and ask her about my diet (I'm strictly vegetarian) and a few things I wanna know about. Only downside is that will be the end of my annual leave and back to work which will suck lol. |

Congrats and welcome to Miss ans Tasha!
Jennz - glad to hear your news. Wishing everyone the best for this delicate stage. I went to the Doc on Thur, and as DH and I are waiting, out comes the Doc - and my sister in law. She of course put 2 and 2 together - and I just could not not say anthing lol! So one accidental telling of family. I'm waiting to my dad comes back from a funeral overseas, hopefully this will come as good news, after the two recent deaths in the family (although both expected). Off to the first midwife appt this avo. No ms (touch wood), though I've managed to pick up a headcold and don't feel so good. Hey, I know everyone is saying that the are tired and all, and all the books say it too, but I wake up at 2.30 (for a wee) - and then I can't go back to sleep! Anyone else experience sleep-less nights? An e |

Ha ha An e - fancy your sister in law being there! What a funny cooincidence! We have told pretty much everyone family wise, and I have told many people at work. I read that miscarriage article in last weeks paper and the woman said that she wished she had told more people as hiding the pain was really hard. I figure that I will need a lot of support if anything goes wrong, so we are telling many people.
I have rung a midwife - it went to messages, so I will wait for a call back I guess. I have been sleeping fine, An e - what an irritating thing to have happen! I do tend to wake up at least once, but I quickly go back to sleep. I get tired easily though, which is so frustrating! Hope everyone is well - Stacey, I hope the ms doesn't kick in for you, Jennz, I hope yours settles down! And An e, I hope your headcold goes away - yuck! |

| Actually my nights suck around 4-4:30am I wake up and toss and turn, can't get comfy or the right temp then eventually after 1/2 an hour I go back to sleep |

Strangely enough, I'm not having any struggles with sleeping really. With previous pregnancies, I would be sooo tired, then I'd go to bed and would be wide awake. Hopefully this one may be a bit different. I'm hainvg a little nausea, but only in the mornings, and mainly with weetbix. But since real m/s doesn't usually kick in until 6 weeks, I'm not getting my hopes up. lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

< language=> well i thought i better add myself!! My EDD is June 24th First HSG was 6 (10 DPO) and 2nd HSG was 26 (12 DPO) did a poas too and that came up positive pretty quick although the test line was lighter than the control. Next lot of bloods are next friday but i work at a Drs surgery so if i have any concerns will get checked out. How soon does one book a midwife? ------------- Tristen - 24/06/07 Rylan - 11/12/08 Angel Babies -14/08/05 & 21/01/2010 Curtis - 26/02/12 |

Hey ladies just lurking lol. congrats to you all once again. Hey stacey who have you booked - there are so many good midwives in Palmy. As for morning sickness - i hope you don't get it but many people find it really usually kicks in at about 6 - 8 weeks.. which is when the real tiredness kicks in too.
I wouldn't worry too much about weight gain, some gain lots others don't, i think it depends alot on genetics, yours and baby's.. but also n eating patterns, staying fit and healthy will help you get back to shape a bit quicker after. I was worried with Paris, as i had been 80 Kg at the start of that year and had only just got to 55 kg again when i found out i was having Paris.. the nice thing was she had that little bit of last weight and flubber to help her grow, so she was nice and healthy and i didn't really put on too much weight - about 9 kgs i think. Stacey you'll prob find theres a few more things you might need to add to your diet or eat a bit more just to make sure you are getting all the protein baby needs.. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Yay Sylvia, those numbers are awesome!!! Are you getting any more betas done? Like everyone else has said, I would start looking for a midwife now. Once I get my monday results, if all is good I will ring my midwife then.

I suppose I better ring a midwife I think I'll have the same one as last time.
I've been having heaps of trouble getting back to sleep once I wake up too its so annoying. I wouldn't worry too much about putting on too much weight I ate and ate and put on about 12kgs and was back down to normal by around 6 months. I'm hoping that happens this time around lol. |

I had also been having heaps of trouble sleeping at night too! So annoying since I was so tired. I think alot of it for me was stress about all the stuff we were going through, and finding it so hard to get comfortable with my aching melons! Its calmed down now- slept like a baby non-stop all night I got really bad insomnia with DD so I think its just another one of the joys of pregnancy 
Janine- are you pregnant? Last night was the first time I didn't have MS all evening- we had a huge dinner and dessert (chocolate cake mmmm!) and I wondered if it helped being so full. This morning I was really bad and only felt like water but made myself eat a bacon sandwich and now its gone! Last time I managed to keep it at bay with a few crackers but this one obviously needs a bit more than that
Hope you all have a great weekend! ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Rach i didn't find it too bad 2nd time with weight either, the main thing i have found is since things are already a little stretched, it is taking time for tummy to tone.. although i am not seriously working on it so that would make a difference. My older sis said to me that after number two, no matter what, there will always be the "mummy pouch" just below you belly button, when your tummy muscles are just never gonna spring back. ggrr, i seriously hope she's wrong. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Ooh, and noooooo am not pregnant.

I think i would be over the moon. lol. he just wouldn't. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I think i had a mummy pouch before Jack lol.
Do I have to go to a GP first or can I ring the midwife straight away? Last time my GP said he had to refer me. Tiredness has hit hard today  and stretchy pains from sitting up too quick i remember them from Jack.

Rach, my doctor just left a message for me saying to get a midwife sorted. There doesnt need to be a referral, at least not where I am. I reckon if you are using the same midwife it will be even easier for you.
As for the mummy pouch, as I am umm a big fatty! I think it is going to hard to know when I am actually showing  -------------

Well I had my first real attack of feeling sick. And of course it would have to happen while I was at a restaurant with the inlaws lol...
My boobs did feel real heavy in the afternoon as well. Oh the joys lol Twins is a serious concern for us as we have fraternal twins on both our sides and its my turn to have them! |

Oh no! That would be a shock! We have no twins in either family - phew!
Poor you getting sick at the restaurant Not nice at all! Hope it passed and you were able to eat something. Though it is trciky to eat out already isn't it - we just went out for tea and pretty much everything but the lasagne had some sort of alcohol in the sauce, or was a meat that I prefer rare.
Does being a strict vege offer you more choice (because you don't have to manage the meat side) or less (because there never seems to be that many choices on the menu?) -------------

| Being a vege makes going to restaurants a nightmare for me, I'm not a mushroom or pumpkin fan (goes back to being a kid and very sick, never liked it since) and generally there is only one, maybe 2 if I'm really lucky choices on the menu and usually the main ingredient is pumpkin or mushroom. What I end up needing to do is take a couple of the side dishes and ask them to add them together and make it a main size. It sucks. I really dread going out to some restaurants. |

We had a bad night last night Jack had a great big spew and then I nearly spewed cleaning it up. I slept in his room so hardly got any sleep and then he did I big runny poo this morning the poor thing. Hopefully hes better now. How are all you ladies today? |

Miss, never worry when you are at a restaurant aobut there being alcohol in a sauce - as long as it's a cooked sauce then the alcohol has evaporated, and it's just used to add flavour. Stacey - it would be soooo hard to go out for dinner as a strict vegetarian, especially not liking mushies and pumpkin - I really feel for you. dh is a chef and I know how rare it is for any vego dish not to be based on one of those 2 things! I had my first really pukey feling moment this morning at the supermarket. It was around the fresh fruit and veges and the bakery dept. I remember with Bethany I couldnt walk into anywhere with a bakery without holding my nose for the 1st 15 weeks....looks like it may be the same this time. oh yay. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ha ha tarshaa - it is annoying being 1 day behind! I have a tickerfactory one on EBB and that one lets you set the right date and time as part of the set up programme. Maybe I will change my one on here to that too.
Glad you had a good night An E. I woke at 4 and thought of you guys on hrere who also have been waking! Grrr. Then I had irrational thoughts that I had dreamt the whole blood test thing and that I am not really pregnant, just insane. Hopefully the midwife will put those fears to rest!

I've got something like cramping as well. It's not quite like AF cramps though, however my apetite is all over the place. When I get hungry I'm very very hungry and it happens more often but when I'm not if I look at food I think yuck which is a bit random.
I get to meet with my midwife tomorrow! Yay!!! |

kebatkat = i hope you dont end up like Phoebe on friends who had to eat meat during her pregnancy even tho she is a vegetarian! pregnancy will do strange things to you and bubs will make you crave what your body is lacking....oh dear! Oh and the boobies thing - well my DD's increased two sizes immediately but have calmed down now and stayed the same (2 sizes up!)...sorry! I know how you feel - lets all just hope breastfeeding shrinks thenm alittle huh? I had a friend who breastfed three bubs and went from 12DD to a 10 A and my mum went from DD's to a b cup! please.....
Taarsha - i soooo have my fingers crossed for you....sticky sticky baby dust your way... Sylvo - get a midwife quick - or do you have to go through a specialist after all you have been through? you live so far out so you will need to check into all of that... I wish you all well...but am so glad that first trimester is passed for me now...but let me say the UC doesnt stop - i too had bleeding at week 6 and I cannot help checking always still!!! |

My stomach is in knots thinking about it with what happened with my last pregnancy. Ah well - less than 24 hrs and I'll know something. I have had a few nauseous moments - weetbix, and belevie it or not, the smell when I open the dishwasher to empty it in the morning are the worst. And I'm not too good with bakery smells either. I remember that one from my pregnancy with Bethany. lol Thanks Bombshell - It doesnt seem so long ago you got your bfp, now check it out - you're nearly halfway!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
